Happy Birthday THaF Records!

We first featured THaF Records in October last year and tomorrow they’re celebrating their first birthday (ish). In the last year they’ve introduced us to some great electro tuneage, by the likes of JSK, Bullwack, The Hats, Footjam, Silent H!, Jackiroqs and Mike Hindle. To celebrate they’ve put together’ Movement’, a twenty two track compilation of unreleased THaF tracks.

BoЯRoBeats has put together a minimix to give a taste of what you can expect from the release and you can download it below.

Movement – One Year Anniversary Compilation minimix

Also you should have a browse at THaF Records store.There’s some top stuff on there,  spend a bit of money. Go on – ah go on…

Compilation tracklist in the comments.

Snapcrack.feat LOc E – Won’t Hold Back

Yikes

Snapcrack – Won’t Hold Back Minimix

The Bullwack remix is pretty stunning, but just pipping it to the post is this slammer from Silent H!

Snapcrack – Won’t Hold Back (Silent H! Remix)

Won’t Hold Back is available now on THaF Records

JSK – Once Again

New tune from JSK on THaF records out on 12th October. Magic.

JSK – Once Again

Cyborg Boy – I Can See

My favourite noise in a club is the whump whump bass. When that whump happens, it’s the moment when everything else just goes away and you’re immersed in electro euphoria. If you’ve got someone good on the decks, they can keep the waves of whump coming at you until you’re a gibbering wreck, merely flopping about, not even dancing anymore. This is what it’s all about.

Cyborg Boy is from Ireland and boy can whump. His new tune ‘I Can See’ is out now on THaF records. Check him out on his Soundcloud  and drop by Mixcloud to enjoy some of his mixes

Here’s THaF To Bang Your Head Up

If you’re feeling a bit drowsy this morning, just dragged yourself out of bed, perhaps suffering from the night before, get yourself a strong coffee, take a seat, because these two will wake you the fuck up.

AutoLaser – Cebuella

Out now on THaF

Kotedurone – Renegade (Feedback remix)

Out now THaF Records

It’s all about the drop

THaF Records Big Friggin’ Give Away

THaF Records are celebrating their 20th release with a twenty track give away that will blow your lil mind. It’s very simple, you log in to your Facebook and click like on the THaF Records page. Easy. For your time and support you’ll be able to download tracks from Bullwack, The Hats, Silent H! Whitenoise, Mike Hindle, Jackiroqs and a whole load more. If you already like them, you can find the download link on the left hand side of their page. All in all you’re getting 200 megabytes of class tunes, for a button click. It’s a great introduction to one of the best dance music labels around.

Jackiroqs ‘There Is No Face’ is the track that’s hit the magic twenty and unleashed this wave of philanthropy.

Described by THaF themselves as Thrash Electro, ‘There Is No Face’ is a pulsing, driven electro weapon, the EP featuring seven solid remixes from the likes of The Hats,  Janski Beeats and upcoming US producer Kill Paris. Of the remixes on offer, Kill Paris’s emotional interpretation, with its dubstep section is my pick of the bunch.

You can get the full EP on Beatport now

Get yourself over to THaF’s Facebook page and get the twenty tracks

 

JSK – Act Of God

Loosely an act of God is something beyond ‘human control’ and it describes JSK’s new tune perfectly. There’s something about Dennis Josek’s music that sets him apart from the thousands of dance producers out there , so many great moments in what are essentially power driven bangers. At its simplest an act of God is an ‘event of divine intervention’ and you’ve got to hope he’s sitting up there, peering down and in his rumbling, mountain moving voice he’s telling us to ‘turn that shit UP!’

JSK – Act of God

JSK is also offering up his entire discography to date on his Soundcloud page. Which is pretty remarkable.

Act of God is released on 29th June of THaF Records

Silent H! – Monstrumental

This is some great stuff right here. Silent H! is Thom Hodkinson from here in the UK and he’s been producing tunes since 2010. Starting out in breaks, he switched his allegiance and started throwing out electro bangers like those on his new EP Monstrumental. It’s out now on THaF Records, so you know that you’re getting some pedal to the metal tuneage that will rip the roof off your house. THaF just don’t do subtle and that’s why I  love them more and more with each release.

Uxorious

Some new remixes from The Hats who I featured awhile back. Once again they offer up some straight driving electro bastards, designed solely to test the bass capabilities of speakers and headphones everywhere (thankfully the Senn’s just about survived, although my ears were pretty fucked for an hour or so after). More of this kind of stuff please.

Silent H! – The Computer (The Hats Remix)

Jackiroqs – There Is No Face (The Hats Remix)

Phat Stack – D – Cup (The Hats Remix)

Out on Arcade Pony in March

Also if you’re about on Saturday night you can check out a guest mix Ian from The Hats has done for Bass Demons on Fnoob Underground.

Tasty re-edit from No Sell Out next. I’ve got to be honest, I don’t really know what the difference is between a remix and a re-edit. Is a re-edit where you do less with the original than a remix? Just sort of move stuff about a bit? Change the pitch? Probably the sort of thing I should know writing a music blog, really. Oh well. This is rather good, so I don’t care that much. At all…
